Sometimes all it takes to buoy your spirits, or inspire you is to read a sentence or two of wise words. Those words may be meaningless or confusing to others - but to you, they embody a host of emotions or a truth that is near and dear to your heart.
Framed verse features original photograph by Gina Keesling. A dreamy portrait of her own "wild" horse Allie - who's worth feeding and trying to ride... |

A Farrier's Prayer - written by and ©Gina Keesling. Please feel free to forward - just include my copyright as above. - Thanks |
Dear Lord, give me strength to start this day And wisdom and courage to face whatever I encounter in my travels. Even though my work with horses is difficult and dangerous, Grant me patience for his flighty and unpredictable ways, And keep me safe from harm as I do my task. Let me remember that my satisfaction comes from helping A lame horse to go sound, and a sound one to do his job with comfort. Help me to have patience with my fellow humans, and to remember that Most love their horses and want what is best for them. Let me have respect and fellowship with my peers, so that we are Not alone in this complex and challenging vocation. Remind me that while my work is important, faith and family should Come first; help me to schedule my days to reflect these priorities And at the end of the day, when my mind and body are tired, Help me remember why I chose this profession, And never let me never lose fascination and reverence for this Wonderful creature You have given us, the horse. -Amen |

Never underestimate the impact of the details. The wording below the picture says: For want of a nail, the shoe was lost; For want of a shoe, the horse was lost; For want of a horse, the rider was lost; For want of a rider, the battle was lost; For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost; And all for the want of a horseshoe nail. -Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack |

Dearest Creator in Heaven, Give me strength to guide my horse. Make my hands soft and my head clear. Let my horse understand me and I him. My heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals. Let me never lose sight of it. My soul you have gifted with a deep need for them. Let that need never lessen. Always let my breath catch as the sun gleams on an elegant head. Always may my throat tighten at the sound of a gentle nicker. Let the scent of fresh hay and a new bag of grain be sweet to me. Let the touch of a warm nose on my hand always bring a smile. I adore the joy of a warm day on the farm. The grace and splendor of a running horse, The thunder of its hooves makes my eyes burn and my heart soar. Let it always be so. Dearest Creator grant me patience, For horses are harnessed wind, and wind can be flighty. Let me not frighten or harm them. Instead show me ways to understand them. Above all, dear Creator, fill my life with them. When I pass from this world, Send my soul to no heaven without them. For this love you have given me graces my existence And I shall cherish it and praise You for it for all time. Author Unknown |

Feed me, water and care for me, and when the day's work is done, provide me with a shelter, a clean dry stall large enough for me to lie down in comfort. Talk to me, your voice often means as much to me as the reins. Pet me sometimes that I may serve you more gladly and learn to love you. Shoe me properly that I may serve you in comfort. Never strike, beat or kick me when I don't understand what you want, but give me the chance to understand you. And finally oh master, when my youthful strength is gone do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner to be slowly tortured or stoned to death, but do thou, my master take my life in the kindest way, and your God will reward you here and hereafter. You will not consider me irreverent if I ask this in the name of Him who was born in a stable... -Amen |

A Pet's Prayer

A Pet's Prayer My people are so precious, Lord; I know You think so, too... And I believe You put me here To love them just for You! They take such gentle care of me And have such tender hearts... Please use me, Lord, to comfort them Whenever teardrops start. They face a lot of battles As they live & work each day... They need me, Lord, To make them smile And show them how to play! The world is full of people, But sometimes real friends are few... Please let my love & loyalty Remind them, Lord, of you. And when my final moment comes, Lord, tell them as we part... I was a made-to-order gift From Your great, loving heart! copyright Hope Herrington Kolb |
